The reputation of Australia's cricket team is in complete shambles ever since the captain Steve Smith confessed to coming up with a plan with senior players to "cheat" South Africa by tampering with the ball in the third test.

In a sensational press conference, Cameron Bancroft admitted to ball-tampering and Smith revealed it was the idea of the team management during the lunch break.

In its Facebook post, the brand urged people to pamper and not tamper with their balls. Oh boy.

On Thursday, online streaming service Netflix in its no chill Facebook post "created" three profiles for Smith, Warner, and Bancroft on Netflix and wrote, "Since you've got a bit of time on your hands."

It was only yesterday when Steve Smith broke down during a press conference in Sydney that people sympathised with the captain and believed that the treatment the trio were put through was "inhumane" and "harsh".

"To all of my teammates, to fans of cricket all over the world and to all Australians who are disappointed and angry. I'm sorry. I take full responsibility ... There was a failure of leadership, of my leadership. I'll do everything I can to make up for my mistake and the damage it's caused," a teary-eyed Smith told to media persons.

Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner have been banned by Cricket Australia from playing cricket for the country for 12 months for ball-tampering scandal. While their partner-in-crime Cameron Bancroft has been suspended for nine months by the Australian cricket body.
